Lambay Island, off the coast of Dublin, is home to Ireland's only wild breeding population of wallabies
For a few days in August wallabies hit the headlines in Northern Ireland after what was dubbed the "great escape' in County Tyrone.She was reunited with the estate's other wallaby, Jeffrey, four days later after being found a short distance away.
The red-necked wallabies began to breed and currently their numbers are estimated to be anywhere from 60 to somewhere in the hundreds. "And the other thing is in good weather and bad weather they tend to lie low and you don't see as much of them. "They are a reproducing population but they're confined to there with it being an island," the centre's Colette O'Flynn said.
